Abstract: Inner Mongolia boasts abundant mineral resources.After decades of high-intensity geological survey and development，problems in the development have appeared although significant achievements have been reached.Problems of Inner Mongolia mining industry have the following aspects facially，more small mines，decentralized layout，opencast mining than the major，low resource utilization rate，some of the mineral production capacity of a serious surplus，serious environment problems，foundation work lag，more environmental constraints，exploration investments continue to decrease and scarce mine volume.But in essence，structural problems are prominent.Problems above are becoming main obstacles during the mining development of Inner Mongolia in current economic development norm.Based on the supply-side structural reform of the geological exploration，this study puts forward suggestions for the mining development in Inner Mongolia by proceeding with reality，insisting on problem-oriented，demand-oriented，policy-oriented，starting from the geological exploration links，as well as breaking through concept，ideas，methods，systems and mechanisms.
